A domestic disturbance landed a man behind bars, according to Laredo police.

Daniel Garza, 23, was served with an arrest warrant Saturday in the 1500 block of Santa Maria Avenue. He was charged with assault, family violence.

At about 9 p.m. March 6, officers were dispatched to the 1500 block of Santa Maria. A woman stated to police that her husband, Garza, was upset about an argument they had the day before, according to LPD.

The argument escalated when she told Garza she would call for help, police said.

Garza then allegedly threw her phone against the wall and broke it and violently threw her onto a bed.

LPD said he got on top of her and covered her mouth and nose so that she could not scream for help. She managed to get away and left the residence, according to police.

LPD’s special investigations unit later secured a warrant for Garza’s arrest. He was released on bond Sunday, according to Webb County Jail records.
